Tantalizing Thursday

Welcome back in to Tantalizing Thursday at Chief 187 Chatter. As I’ve been writing all week about our triumphant trip to Hersheypark, it only seemed fitting to feature a recipe shared by the Hershey Kitchens that is quick, easy, and oh so delectable. I am dedicating this to my husband who simply adores chocolate and peanut butter together and, more specifically, anything Reese’s.

Directions
1. Cover tray with waxed paper.
2. Place chocolate in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM an additional 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chocolate is melted and smooth when stirred.
3. Immediately place peanut butter chips and shortening in second microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM an additional 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred; stir in peanuts.
4. Alternately spoon above mixtures onto prepared tray; swirl with knife for marbled effect. Gently tap tray on countertop to even out thickness of mixture. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm. Break into pieces. Store in cool, dry place. About 1 pound candy.

I have had incredible luck using Hershey baking products so I hope you will try this fast, satisfying, and rich dessert. Yes, it is easy to simply buy some Hershey candy at the grocery store, but making something like this in your own kitchen will get you bonus points with your loved ones!

Drop me a comment to let me know if you tried this recipe, how you liked it, and how you may have changed it to suit your tastes. If you use Hershey products to bake, please leave your recipe below.

Hershey, Pennsylvania and Hersheypark specifically is the “Sweetest Place on Earth”. If you can’t get there, make a few Hershey recipes throughout the year to transport yourself to the wonderful smells and feelings one gets when there. Happy Eating!

Please remember to join me tomorrow for the week ending Friday Music Blog. I look forward to capping another week with you all!

About Me

I am the Crew Chief of my family with myriad interests and a sincere desire to expand my friend base. I started as a prolific blogger on the NASCAR fan racing site Rowdy.com. In 2012 I created my own Motorsports radio show and website entitled Drafting the Circuits. As head writer, editor, social media specialist, PR, guest-securer, host, and on-air personality, I took the show to a position in Motorsports that netted my site access as media to major NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity, and NCWTS events, ARCA races, the Indianapolis 500 and other IndyCar events, and the US Grand Prix at COTA in Formula 1! Currently I am writing a book that has nothing to do with Motorsports in my efforts to continuously evolve.
